That's a cool Koch-funded map, lee.

Keep it up lee,  You will be in prison for this if you live long enough.

    The denial campaign is designed for one purpose alone: to deceive. Its purpose is to prevent government regulation of CO2 emissions by creating out of whole cloth a monumental illusion: that a controversy exists among climatologists about the basic facts, as well as the climate implications, of global warming. To create the impression in the public mind of such a controversy, the denial campaign deliberately set out to create a vast artificial edifice, a Hollywood set of false facades and roads leading nowhere complete with lab-coated actors mouthing carefully tested and scripted messages. The purpose is to hide from the public the dangers of the conspirators’ principal product, fossil fuels, by creating a soothing alternate reality to cast doubt upon the looming threat of global environmental catastrophe predicted by mainstream climate science. It is fundamentally deceptive in purpose, conception and execution.

He concluded that there is potential criminal exposure for some of those involved.  The First Amendment does not protect fraudulent speech.  However, he notes that there may be an escape outlet via a well documented withdrawal from denial conspiracy, so that, if nothing else, the statute of limitations might begin to run.  Rather than viewing such an escape outlet as a loophole to be closed, he encourages denier individuals and corporations to avail themselves of this escape now in the hopes defections will turn the tide on the climate denial fraud.

The denialists have a strong case that cannot be ignored:




Greenland Glaciers Start to Recover as Solar Activity Declines (805)


Adapt 2030
Published on Mar 26, 2019

As the Grand Solar Minimum brings us back to the lowest solar activity in 400 years, we should see more snow cover and glaciers recovering. NASA study shows what was Greenland's largest glacier by volume of loss, is now recovering. Record N. Hemisphere snow totals, massive floods USA destroying 38% of stored grains, recors snow in Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains, and record rains in the U.S desert S.W. In my opinion these are solar activity and cosmic ray related events.

Hi Don,
I don't think the climate is so simple that you can say -
ohh - more CO2 therefore we're going to roast.
The Roman and Medieval warming periods had nothing to do with CO2.

I'm hoping that Thorium will be our new power source and that
we can forget fossil fuels forever.

WMO Statement on the State of the Global Climate in 2018

Foreword

This publication marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the WMO Statement on the State of the Global Climate, which was first issued in 1994. The 2019 edition treating data for 2018 marks sustained international efforts dedicated to reporting on, analysing and understanding the year-to-year variations and long-term trends of a changing climate.
Substantial knowledge has been produced and delivered annually during this period to inform WMO Member States, the United Nations system and decision-makers about the status of the climate system. It complements the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) five-to-seven year reporting cycle in producing updated information for the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change and other climate-related policy frameworks.
Since the Statement was first published, climate science has achieved an unprecedented degree of robustness, providing authoritative evidence of global temperature increase and associated features such as sea-level rise, shrinking sea ice, glacier mass loss and extreme events linked to increasing temperatures, such as heatwaves. There are still areas that need more observations and research, including assessing the contribution of climate change to the behaviour of extreme events and to ocean currents and atmospheric jet streams that can induce extreme cold spells in some places and mild conditions in others.

Key findings of this Statement include the striking consecutive record warming recorded from 2015 through 2018, the continuous upward trend in the atmospheric concentration of the major greenhouse gases, the increasing rate of sea-level rise and the loss of sea ice in both northern and southern polar regions.

The understanding of the linkage between the observed climate variability and change and associated impact on societies has also progressed, thanks to the excellent collaboration of sister agencies within the United Nations system. This current publication includes some of these linkages that have been recorded in recent years, in particular from 2015 to 2018, a period that experienced a strong influence of the El Niño and La Niña phenomena in addition to the long-term climate changes.
Global temperature has risen to close to 1 °C above the pre-industrial period. The time remaining to achieve commitments under the Paris agreement is quickly running out.
This report will inform the United Nations Secretary-General’s 2019 Climate Action Summit. I therefore take this opportunity to thank all the contributors – authors, National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, global climate data and analyses centres, Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres, Regional Climate Centres and the United Nations agencies that have collaborated on this authoritative publication.












Fossil CO₂ emissions have grown almost continuously for the past two centuries (Figure 4),
a trend only interrupted briefly by globally
significant economic downturns.
Emissions to date continued to grow at 1.6% in 2017 and
at a preliminary 2.0% (1.1%–3.4%) per year in
2018.
It is anticipated that a new record high of 36.9 ± 1.8 billion tons of CO₂ was reached in 2018.

Net CO₂ emissions from land use and land
cover changes were on average 5.0 ± 2.6 billion tons per year over the past decade, with highly uncertain annually resolved estimates.

Together, land-use change and fossil CO₂ emissions reached an estimated 41.5 ± 3.0 billion tons of CO₂ in 2018.
The continued high emissions have led to high levels of CO₂ accumulation in the atmosphere that amounted to 2.82 ± 0.09 ppm in 22018.3

This level of atmospheric CO₂ is the result of
the accumulation of only a part of the total CO₂
emitted because about 55% of all emissions are removed by CO₂ sinks in the oceans and terrestrial vegetation.

Sinks for CO₂ are distributed across the hemispheres, on land and oceans, but CO₂ fluxes in the tropics (30°S–30°N) are close to carbon
neutral due to the CO₂ sink being largely offset
by emissions from deforestation.
Sinks for CO₂ in the southern hemisphere are dominated by the removal of CO₂ by the oceans,
while the stronger sinks in the northern hemisphere have similar contributions from both land and oceans.

OCEAN HEAT CONTENT

More than 90% of the energy trapped by GHGs goes into the oceans.

Ocean heat content is rising more.
